Gordon went bananas with this sweet treat from Cookalong Live

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3 medium bananas
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 15g unsalted butter
  • ½ red chilli, deseeded, finely sliced
  • 50ml dark rum
  • 60ml coconut milk
  • Vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method: How to make Gordon's hot bananas

1. Sprinkle the sugar over the base of a wide, heavy, non-stick frying pan and place over a high heat until it melts and begins to caramelise around the edge of the pan. Chop the chilli and add to the sugar.

2. Peel and roughly slice the bananas on the diagonal.

3. Add the bananas and coat in the caramel, then add the butter. Allow the bananas to caramelise for 2-3 minutes before pouring in the rum and flambéing. Let the flames burn out, then pour in the coconut milk and swirl to combine. Cook out for a further 1-2 minutes before removing from the heat.

4. Spoon the hot bananas into the bottom of the serving glasses/bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to serve.

  3. I absolutely love Chef Ramsay. He is exactly what us boring, "safe" Americans need. His recipes are great and his attitude is fantastic. I was never really into cooking but he manages to bring out the best in me. I now have my entire family addicted to all his shows, both BBC and FOX! Thank god for DirecTV and BBCA!!!

  5. The bananas tasted absolutely horrible! Not sure if it was meant to taste like this - guess our caramel burnt a bit? But glad to say it wasn't the fault of the chilli, but the sauce was quite bitter. But we enjoyed the soup very much. We still have to do the stir-fry, we are now splitting the menu over 2 days as we don't manage to eat it all in one evening. I do like the f-word and would certainly complain to Ofcom if G.R. wouldn't be using its trademark expression! (Just joking !!! ) Pity there is no repeat on Saturday, and I enjoy lively guests who try to be funny, no worries about them being to vocal! And cookalong is still good fun!
